I keep checking the forums to see if anyone else has major problems with YT after the upgrade to 30. Pretty much everything is broken in my version. If I enable Magic Actions, it completely obliterates the player controls no matter how I configure it. Thought I'd disable MA and just used Opera's built in click-to-play function to thwart YouTube's autoplay, but that doesn't work at all. In desperation, I tried installing Flash Control, but for whatever reason, it won't stop YouTube from autoplaying. It's a big old mess in there. Before 30, I had multiple options to handle flash in YouTube, and now suddenly I have none. Nobody else experiencing these things> I've had to switch over to Iron, which I really don't like much.

I use this extension here and don't have any major problems with it. What do you mean by "completely obliterates the player controls"?

It's because YT is no longer sending the flash player to Opera, so there is no plugin for the "click to play" to work with.

I can stop and pause by clicking on the video, but I can't see the progress slider or any of the other functions. I tried changing some of the MA settings, but that failed to solve it. Disabled the other YouTube related plugins and all that to no avail.

I did get around to remembering the Flash change in YT, which explains the failure of the click-to-play setting. Installed a couple plug-ins meant to address the problem, but those didn't work, either. Presently, Magic Actions is the only thing that will prevent auto-play, but I can't use it. I'm using Iron for the time being. Will watch for further Opera updates. Appreciate the input.

Have you tried unchecking "Instant control over volume"? Or even better "Auto-hide Player Controls"?

Here i can see the controls.

Hmm, how they were supposed to resolve the problem?

What I meant is, there are extensions meant to stop html5 autoplay but they didn't work. Not with YouTube, anyway.
